This is the memoir of our beloved author and life with her husband and children. I found a copy in the horror section at one of our local used bookstores and after checking out the blurb on the back, had to take it home.
BEST DECISION EVER!!!
This may honestly be one of my new favorites of all-time books. I laughed out loud so many times and had to share multiple passages with whatever poor victim was nearby. This is not a new book, heck, it's in its 70s, and yet, it felt so incredibly relatable.
This is a gem that I can foresee many rereads in the future. I feel like if you have a reader friend who's also a parent, this is the perfect gift. Loved the insight into the family life and what happens when your whole family has big imagination, and wild senses of adventure and humor.
